PREVIEW
There is an argument that the third round of the FA Cup is the best round for the neutrals, as the smaller clubs can dream of a giant killing. Only Newcastle from the Premier League fell to a lower-division team over the weekend but Liverpool were pushed all the way by a game Mansfield and the likes of Championship sides Wolverhampton Wanderers and Cardiff fell to non-league clubs Luton and Macclesfield.
Since 1912 Everton have only once been eliminated by a team in the FA Cup from the fourth tier or below and that was to Shrewsbury in 2003. They travel to Cheltenham tonight for their first ever competitive meeting against the Robins.
The Toffees have won three and lost none of their last five FA Cup games on the road and, in contrast to previous seasons have made a strong start to their league campaign. David Moyes has knitted together a strong side built around the likes of Leighton Baines, Marouane Fellaini and Nikica Jelavic and they should be far too strong for the League Two promotion hopefuls.
Cheltenham have progressed just once in their last eight draws against teams from higher divisions and never against a top flight side in three encounters.
The Everton/Everton result in the half time/full time market at around 1.93 looks a sound bet, while Victor Anchebe is likely to start for the Merseysiders and is a fair shout to score first at around 5.4.
